It was at this moment that Gwen's phone started ringing. She froze when she saw that it was Sean who was calling her. She couldn't believe her eyes. How did he know that she had been about to call him? In her daze, she missed the call. A wave of panic washed over her. She hesitated, wondering if she should call him back. Just then, her phone rang once again.Sean was calling her again. Her heart swarmed with relief. This time, she no longer hesitated. She quickly answered the call. However, she regretted her decision the moment the call went through. "Gwen." It was obvious from his tone that Sean hadn’t expected her to answer the phone.He was still in a daze as he realized that his call hadn’t gone unanswered. "Yes?" said Gwen. "Did you want to say something?""You …" Sean inhaled sharply. "I-I want to apologize to you. I didn't mean to snap at you when we were at the clinic that day." Gwen straightened her back, stunned at his words. "Kirk lied to Caroline. He's
"It's true! I swear I'm telling you the truth!" Gwen burst out laughing. "You'd better be! God will surely find lots of ways to punish you if you hide something from me." "I have nothing to hide," said Sean. He wished he could just pluck his heart out and give it to Gwen. "I swear to God!" "Fine then. I believe you since you've never lied to me." Sean could finally relax now. "Then we'll—""Let's not talk about us," Gwen stopped him. "We should be talking about Carol and Krik now."She sat on a chair and asked, "Can't we do anything at all? Should we really just watch Carol marry Eddy?" "Michael said that Caroline should regain her memories on her own," Sean replied. "All we can do is wait.""I really hope she can get back her memories," said Gwen. All of a sudden, something popped up in her mind. "Oh right! Will she be able to get over Mr. Morrison Senior's death if she regains her memories?" Sean couldn't answer that. "I still don't think it's right to make
Just then, someone knocked on the door. "Excuse me, is someone in there?"Caroline glanced at the door and caught a glimpse of the pair of shoes under the door. "Yeah." "You're Ms. Evans, right? Your fiancé said that you've been in here for quite some time already. He asked me to check if you're okay," the woman said. "Are you okay? Do you need help?"Caroline didn't respond. Gwen heard the woman’s voice on the phone and smiled helplessly. "You should head back." "I know," said Caroline. "Just remember what I told you. Don't think about anything else, okay?""Okay," Caroline replied, her tone meek. After hanging up, she opened the door to see a kind-looking old lady standing by the door. "Hello." The lady greeted Caroline with a smile. Caroline greeted the lady out of common courtesy. She hasn’t expected this to be the start of a very long conversation with the lady, who couldn't stop complimenting Eddy as she grabbed Caroline's arm and led her out of the washroom.
The concern in Eddy's eyes tugged at Caroline's heartstrings, and she said, "I'm fine. Let's go.""Okay." Eddy reached out to hold her hand, but she dodged him as if it came naturally to her. "About the old lady just now …" she stared. "Oh. I waited for you for some time outside, but you didn't come out," he explained. "So I asked her to go in and check on you. What's wrong?""Nothing. She told me lots of nice things about you, so much so that I thought you had paid her to do it." The smile on Eddy's face faltered. Stunned, he stared at Caroline until she turned around to face him, puzzled.Only then did he snap out of his daze and hasten his footsteps to catch up with her. "What did she say?" "Nothing much." Caroline didn't feel like bringing up the topic. "I'm tired, Eddy.""Okay. We'll talk about the details of the wedding tomorrow then." "The wedding? So soon?" Caroline stopped abruptly in her tracks. She had thought that the wedding would happen only after a m
At the last moment, Kirk still held back his punch, so his fist only grazed Sean's nose.Having dodged a bullet, Sean patted his chest. He looked at Kirk incredulously. "Kirk, are you—"Kirk looked coldly at Sean, silencing him immediately. He threw away his boxing gloves, jumped out of the boxing ring, and headed for the changing room.As Jack watched Kirk leave, he couldn't help but move closer to Sean and whisper, "Dr. Yates, what should we do now? Are we just going to let him spiral even further?""What else can we do? Do you have any better ideas?" Sean asked helplessly.Jack sighed, "I never thought sir would be hurt in a relationship.""He's also a human, you know." Just as Sean sighed, he spotted Kirk, whohad already changed his clothes and walked out of the changing room.Sean quickly approached him. "Are you going home now?"Kirk didn't answer him. He simply walked toward the door. Sean and Jack were worried about him and followed him into the car.Fortunately, it wa
Jack and Sean looked at each other. Finally, Sean said, "She will.""As in, she'll marry Eddy soon?" asked Kirk, looking up at the two men.Just like that, the room fell into silence."I know she has forgotten the past, and she doesn't remember me at all. Right now, she only remembers the person she wants to marry … "I'm also aware that I can't blame her for all this because I made the choice to let her forget me. I know that very well." Kirk's tone became heavier, and the other two men were speechless.He asked, "I just want to lose myself in the moment, even for a second, so that I don't think of her. Can't you fulfill this wish of mine?"Sean and Jack looked at each other silently. Then, they sat next to Kirk."Since you want to drink yourself silly, we'll keep you company." Sean picked up a bottle of alcohol. "I don't know how to help you get over your sorrow, so I can only be there for you as a friend."Jack also opened the bottle, saying proudly, "Sir … you don't hav
Jack quickly glanced at Kirk. He said hesitantly, "I—""She asked you to come over, right?" Kirk said.Jack remained silent."Go ahead. I'll be safe here." Kirk took another sip of his drink.Judging by his current state, safety wasn't exactly the issue at the moment."Are you outside?" Jack heard Cheryl's voice again. "Since you're busy, I won't disrupt your plans.""No!" Jack blurted out. He scratched his head. He was in a difficult position."Go ahead," Kirk said again."There are so many people here. Nothing will happen if I'm here."Jack frowned. He hesitated and momentarily struggled with his decision, but he still chose to see Cheryl. "... All right, sir. Make sure not to wander around. If anything happens to you, Dr. Yates will never let me hear the end of it.""Just go. It's not like I'm a toddler or something."After seeing that Kirk was still in the mood to joke, Jack finally left with peace of mind.With Jack gone, Kirk was the only one left in the private r
The door was pushed open with a loud bang. Kirk raised his head and looked at the door. When he saw who had arrived, he was momentarily stunned. Then, he shoved the glass bottle at his neck.Seeing this, the newcomer barged into the room and kicked the bottle out of his hand.However, Kirk didn't give up. He picked up another piece of broken glass and tried to stab it into his neck. "Fine, do it if you want. If you're dead, I'll have one less rival."The man's voice made Kirk stop. He looked up at the newcomer, who was none other than Adrian.Taking advantage of his distraction, Adrian snatched the glass shard from Kirk's hand. He looked down and noticed the wounds on Kirk's hands. Kirk’s skin had gotten cuts from the glass.He wordlessly took a towel from his bag and tossed it at Kirk.Kirk glanced at him, but he didn't accept the towel.Adrian sat down opposite him and ignored him. He simply sneered, "You have big balls, don't you? If you don't treat that wound, it'll ge
